WEST Coast's revival is gathering steam, with the pre-season flag fancies moving into the top eight for the first time this year via a 100-point victory over Greater Western Sydney on Saturday afternoon.

Having started with just one win from their opening five games, the Eagles have now won four straight, capped by a 23.17 (155) to 8.7 (55) triumph over the Giants in front of 6324 fans at Skoda Stadium.

Tom Scully, Lachie Whitfield, Toby Greene and Adam Treloar had their moments through the middle of the ground, but it was an otherwise predictable result between two teams with opposite ambitions in 2013.

The game got off to a cagey start, with scores locked at 1.1 after 10 minutes, before five Eagle goals in a 13-minute span broke the contest open.

A late Sam Butler snap gave West Coast a 33-point lead at the first change.

The Eagles then pressed home their advantage in the second quarter, doubling its lead to 66 points at half-time.
It was then relatively comfortable the rest of the way for the visitors, who host Richmond at Patersons Stadium next week.
